The "elements and resistances" in the game at the moment are currently ignored. They might as well just give BLM unaspected damage because whether if it's Fire or Ice makes next to no different to the mobs - i.e. it's "Fire" in name only. (I get that they put it in because you know, "Black Mage", what is a BLM without Blizzard or Fire.)

This is the WoW way of doing things. There is magic damage and physical damage (affected by armor). That's it. No "elemental wheel" at all.

If implemented, Jobs would do "unaspected damage" ignoring the "elemental wheel" - like they do now. They will be ignoring the "elemental wheel" defence-wise too - whatever little passive mitigation they have would be "unaspected" as well; that and they should be dodging.
